START Start ROBAR-SV instance.

As an alternative to starting a ROBAR-SV instance in the INSTANCES menu, you can also start a ROBAR-SV instance using START. The ROBAR-SV instance selected most recently in the INSTANCES menu is preset, i.e. the name of its interface-specific configuration file is displayed. In both cases you start the ROBAR-SV processes for communicating with the archive system and with the BS2000 systems.

Before starting a ROBAR-SV instance in ROBAR operation for the first time, please also observe the information in the section "Requirements for ROBAR operation".

When you select the START menu, a form appears for starting the ROBAR-SV instance (communication with the archive system) and the ROBAR-CMX processes (communication with BS2000). In addition, obsolete trace files of the ROBAR-SV instance can be deleted.

You move from one form field to another using the "arrow up" or "arrow down" keys.

Pressing the [ENTER] key starts the ROBAR-SV instance. The connection setup to the archive system or the BS2000 system is logged in the last line. Then the main menu reappears.
